Hello everybody. I haven't posted in awhile, sorry this will be a long one. I just want to vent and warn you fellow Tradesy sellers of Picture & listing thieves hitting an all time low. I searched one of my item to make sure it's coming up on searches. Lo' & behold! found an identical listing from another closet using my pictures, header, description, like the whole she-bang. To top it all, this closet also listed "my item" half off my listing price using all my leg work. I do not understand her intent for it didn't make sense. If the item sells, she will be sending an item that was not in her listing.

I emailed Tradesy of the situation. I also message the seller. Please read the back & forth below. The reasoning of this seller was mind boggling. Please check your items on search from time to time to make sure nobody using your listing. Apparently, this is a normal practice and is OK. Also, after all the messaging, my listing that was stolen is still up.

How are you going to send my bag if somebody buys it?

Oh Thats awesome! Great you can send an item thats not in your possession. So much for being a socially good company. Nothing really good with stealing other's work and posting as your own.

This bag is in my possession. I cleaned and restored it back to life! That's why I am called (HER CLOSET ~ changed)

And yes, my bag looks exactly like yours. So why would I take pictures of the exact same bag, when it is identical? Because of my charity, it takes a while to put listings on, so I am sorry if I offended you. I will take them down if you would like. I DON'T steal. ALL my proceeds support a domestic shelter. Unless they are watermarked, this is a normal practice.

Oh my goodness! You need to educate yourself on copyright infringement! "Stealing somebody else's work is never NORMAL" or will ever be normal. YOU do not have a right to use my pictures and copy my listing without my permission! Your Charity is not the issue, it's your "Stealing" is the issue! Use your own pictures and description. It's really simple.

why so many people like to mention charity in order to show off and make lame excuses? Like those lady who purchased bags from alwayscoffee89
I need lower price cause it's for charity, I can't make my pictures cause of charity, I feel like you all owe me cause I work for charity.
I also spend money for charity, but even my closest friends don't always know it. It's not about being proud of yourself, it's about not to let your left hand know what your right hand does, isn't it??

I don't use auctions any more. I used to, but winners didn't pay in about half cases. When they buy it now, most of them pay same minute they purchased the item. it seems like these are 2 totally different categories - the ones who want to grab smth as cheap as possible on auctions (not all of them, but a lot) and the ones who just find what they need and buy it.

Ebay has changed it so that most BINs require immediate payment, even if you don't set up your listing that way. The only exception is when there is a BO. I guess they got tired of all the complaints from sellers. I haven't used auctions in years, but I might as a final resort if something doesn't sell.

I think it's the default on the app but when listing on the computer, it's not the default and you can check the box.

If you don't want UID, it's the best way to avoid non-payers. The item remains for sale until payment goes through.

In fact, I had one case where two buyers bought at the practically the same time. One was quicker in completing the payment and the other was bummed because she didn't get through quickly enough.

girls, can pls someone advice paid authentication service? Just figured out that Carol Diva doesn't authenticate the brand that I need, and it's a pity cause I like how quickly she answers and it costs only $7. authenticate4you can ignore requests for weeks, lollipuf takes too much for it and ***************** has too many negative feedbacks everywhere. don't know other options

Hi! I have dealt with authenticate4u.com on few occasions. Normally, if I submit and don't hear from them, I sent a message on Facebook. (They got the page on Facebook). And they respond very fast.

I've come across this site several times when browsing the internet. The other day, there was a large banner across the top of tPF. I'd like to think that this means tPF endorses the website, but I realize it could mean that they just paid to advertise on tPF

It seems promising -- comparable to Best eBay alternative. They charge sellers 9% of the sales price + Paypal's 2.9%. One nice thing is that they cover the shipping charges. You set your asking price, and they tack on an additional amount for shipping. Once your item sells, they send out a prepaid shipping kit and within 24 hours of sending your item out, they release your money. Sounds simple enough, until I saw what they were charging for shipping!

I listed one of my bags on the site to see how it would go. I set an asking price of $1750. Once they tacked on the shipping costs, the sales price went up to $1882 -- $132 for shipping? Where in the world did they come up with that figure? Even with insurance, I've never paid anywhere near that amount! And they use USPS. My guess is that it's a prepaid label similar to the labels you receive when doing a merchandise return. I just don't understand that price!! And nowhere on the site does it explain how they calculate the shipping costs. You just enter your asking price, and they add on the shipping and give you a total sales price.

Anyone else ever buy and/or sell with them? Thoughts? Experiences?

Hello,
I brought some gift from here but there was some problem regarding delivery on time.

It depends on the individual seller. Some sellers choose to wait for the shipping kit, which adds a week or more to the delivery time. Personally, I ship the same or next day, and my buyers typically get their purchases in 2 to 4 days. There are also some sellers who misrepresent their location, and buyers may not realize items are being shipped from China or other countries.

yeah, but I still don't like this option. I used it before, it frightens off some buyers. and I almost don't have unpaid cases (like 1 of 20) to change this option.

So I sold a Chanel purse 3/29. It was attempted to be delivered and I guess she wasn't home to sign for the purse. 3 days later she finally picks it up. 5 days later after I transferred my money to my bank, I get an email from Tradesy just now that she opened a return for misrepresentation. I don't like how people lie or feel like they made a mistake buying something and then return it because of buyers remorse. My listings always go above and beyond accuracy and I post plenty of photos. I don't hid any wear. We even communicated before the sale and I answered all of her questions.

This is my first return in like a year. It also included a whole bunch of stuff, like dust bag and shopping bag and more, I hope it all comes back the way I left it. People can be sloppy when shipping an item back because they don't care. What if she damaged it? I had a return a year ago because I was off by 2 inches and when I got the purse back the box that I included was ruined, trashed and ripped. I was just shocked how someone can ruin someone's property like that. It was a cheap sale so I didn't go further with fighting it. But this time I will.

I can see how this would make someone bitter about selling on Tradesy. Your policy clearly says 4 days. Why is she allowed to return in 5?

maybe she just wants to authenticate it? in this case rule of 4 days doesn't work. did you ask her?
